Som vi kunne fortælle sidste år, så gik der rygter om at Sega ville trække hele deres sports serie fra GameCube, fordi firmaet vidste at den slags spil bare ikke sælger på GameCube. Nu har udvikleren så officielt annonceret at de dropper serien.
En talsmand hos Sega sagde følgende:
"Sega has been evaluating its resources and product lineup to ensure it is bringing the right games to the right platforms as the company builds toward becoming a profitable, independent content publisher"
Og han forsatte:
"After careful examination, Sega has made the strategic decision to support the Nintendo GameCube with a priority on delivering its leading entertainment properties such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball, proven franchises which have been top sellers on the system. Sega will focus its sports development resources on delivering its Sega Sports games to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on time at the start of each season. Sega is committed to the Nintendo GameCube and will continue to support the platform with its leading entertainment properties, including the recently announced Sonic Adventure DX, as well as many other titles yet to be announced."
Så Sega støtter altså stadig op omkring formatet, men vælger nu titler der passer til formatets image og som forhåbentlig også har et salgspotentiale.
